ACTION: Notice of the availability of
environmental documents prepared for
OCS mineral proposals by the Gulf of
Mexico OCS Region.
AGENCY:
BOEM, in accordance with
Federal regulations that implement the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), announces the availability of
NEPA-related Site-Specific
Environmental Assessments (SEAs) and
Findings of No Significant Impact
(FONSIs). These documents were
prepared during the period July 1, 2013,
through September 30, 2013, for oil, gas,
and mineral-related activities that were
proposed in the Gulf of Mexico, and are
more specifically described in the
Supplementary Information Section of
this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEM
prepares SEAs and FONSIs for certain
proposals that relate to exploration,
development, production, and transport
of oil, gas, and mineral resources on the
Federal OCS. These SEAs examine the
potential environmental effects of the
proposed activities and any alternatives
and present BOEM conclusions
regarding the significance of those
effects. SEAs are used as a basis for
determining whether or not approval of

the proposal constitutes a major Federal
action that significantly affects the
quality of the human environment in
accordance with NEPA Section
102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared in those
instances where BOEM finds that
approval will not result in significant
effects on the quality of the human
environment. The FONSI briefly
presents the basis for that finding and
includes a summary or copy of the SEA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Federal Oil and Gas Valuation—
30 CFR Parts 1202, 1204, and 1206.
OMB Control Number: 1012–0005.
Bureau Form Number: Form ONRR–
4393.
Abstract: The Secretary of the United
States Department of the Interior is
responsible for overseeing mineral
resource development on Federal and
Indian lands and the Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS). The Secretary’s
responsibility, under various laws, is to
manage mineral resource production
from Federal and Indian lands and the
OCS, collect the royalties and other
mineral revenues due, and distribute the
funds collected under those laws. We
have posted those laws pertaining to
mineral leases on Federal and Indian
lands and the OCS at https://
www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_D/
PublicLawsAMR.htm.
Effective October 1, 2010, ONRR
reorganized and transferred our
regulations from chapter II to chapter
XII in title 30 CFR, resulting in a change
to our citations. You can find the
information collections covered in this
ICR at 30 CFR part 1202, subparts C and
D, which pertain to Federal oil and gas
royalties; part 1204, subpart C, which
pertains to accounting and auditing
relief for marginal properties; and part
1206, subparts C and D, which pertain
to Federal oil and gas product valuation.
I. General Information
When a company or an individual
enters into a lease to explore, develop,
produce, and dispose of minerals from
Federal or Indian lands, that company

or individual agrees to pay the lessor a
share in a value of production from the
leased lands. The lessee, or designee,
must report various kinds of
information to the lessor relative to the
disposition of the leased minerals. Such
information is generally available
within the records of the lessee or others
involved in developing, transporting,
processing, purchasing, or selling of
such minerals.
II. Information Collections
ONRR uses the information that we
collect in this ICR to ensure that lessees
accurately value and appropriately pay
royalties on oil and gas produced from
Federal onshore and offshore leases.
Please refer to the chart for all reporting
requirements and associated burden
hours. All data submitted is subject to
subsequent audit and adjustment.
A. Federal Oil and Gas Valuation
Regulations
The valuation regulations at 30 CFR
part 1206, subparts C and D, mandate
that lessees collect and/or submit
information used to value their Federal
oil and gas, including (1) transportation
and processing allowances and (2)
regulatory allowance limit information.
Lessees report certain data on Form
ONRR–2014, Report of Sales and
Royalty Remittance (OMB Control
Number 1012–0004). The information
that we request is the minimum
necessary to carry out our mission and
places the least possible burden on
respondents. If ONRR does not collect
this information, both Federal and State
governments may incur a loss of
royalties.
Transportation and Processing
Regulatory Allowance Limits: Lessees
may deduct the reasonable, actual costs
of transportation and processing from
Federal royalties. The lessees report
these allowances on Form ONRR–2014.
For oil and gas, regulations establish the
allowable limit on transportation
allowance deductions at 50 percent of
the value of the oil or gas. For gas only,
regulations establish the allowable limit
on processing allowance deductions at
662⁄3 percent of the value of each gas
plant product.
Request to Exceed Regulatory
Allowance Limitation, Form ONRR–
4393: Lessees may request to exceed
regulatory limitations. Upon proper
application from the lessee, ONRR may
approve oil or gas transportation
allowance in excess of 50 percent or gas
processing allowance in excess of 662⁄3
percent on Federal leases. Lessees must
complete and submit Form ONRR–4393,
including a letter and supporting
documentation, for both Federal and

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
[MMAA104000]
Environmental Documents Prepared for Oil, Gas, and Mineral
Operations by the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Region
AGENCY: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), Interior.
ACTION: Notice of the availability of environmental documents prepared
for OCS mineral proposals by the Gulf of Mexico OCS Region.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: BOEM, in accordance with Federal regulations that implement
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), announces the
availability of NEPA-related Site-Specific Environmental Assessments
(SEAs) and Findings of No Significant Impact (FONSIs). These documents
were prepared during the period July 1, 2013, through September 30,
2013, for oil, gas, and mineral-related activities that were proposed
in the Gulf of Mexico, and are more specifically described in the
Supplementary Information Section of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management,
Gulf of Mexico OCS Region, Attention: Public Information Office (GM
250E), 1201 Elmwood Park Boulevard, Room 250, New Orleans, Louisiana
70123-2394, or by calling 1-800-200-GULF.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BOEM prepares SEAs and FONSIs for certain
proposals that relate to exploration, development, production, and
transport of oil, gas, and mineral resources on the Federal OCS. These
SEAs examine the potential environmental effects of the proposed
activities and any alternatives and present BOEM conclusions regarding
the significance of those effects. SEAs are used as a basis for
determining whether or not approval of
[[Page 72097]]
the proposal constitutes a major Federal action that significantly
affects the quality of the human environment in accordance with NEPA
Section 102(2)(C). A FONSI is prepared in those instances where BOEM
finds that approval will not result in significant effects on the
quality of the human environment. The FONSI briefly presents the basis
for that finding and includes a summary or copy of the SEA.
This notice constitutes the public notice of availability of
environmental documents required under the NEPA regulations.
